Thanks for your reply I'm not sure how to tell which nic has the ip-number that I get from using your code. Anyway, I changed my code to this, looping the addresses and checking for IsDnsEligible, that seems to do the trick or am I missing something? foreach (UnicastIPAddressInformation address in ipProperties.UnicastAddresses) { if(address.IsDnsEligible) { adapter.Address = address.Address.ToString(); adapter.SubnetMask = address.IPv4Mask.ToString(); break; } } http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher http://www.tinywebradio.com - Home of TinyWebRadio

Thanks a lot for you answer, it's a much better looking code and it's easier to read. I just love getting feedback and watching how others write their code, there's a lot you can learn from that. So thank you again... :) http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher http://www.tinywebradio.com - Home of TinyWebRadio

The WriteLine adds a carriage return so that part is ok. I found what I had missed, the command-prompt needed to exit before it returned the result. So adding this before reading the output solved it: proc.StandardInput.WriteLine("exit"); http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

I tried iTextsharp but it really did a terrible job with my PDF so now I'm playing around with PDFBox and it seems to be doing a much better job. http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

let me know if you get it working. If it's viable I could find a use for it myself! Dave

That one worked real nice, thanks I found another one over at dynamicdrive http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex2/cmarquee.htm I sure can make something of these http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

Yeah, that's what I thought, I just keep the usercontrols out of app_code until I find a good reason to to otherwise. Thanks Christian... http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

I don't know how to do it in c# but here is c++ way: Deleting Locked Files[^] You can use P/Invoke and use it in a .NET application #region signature my articles #endregion

Thanks, I'll look into that http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

Well that would be OS dependent, however, if you sent command directly to the controller I bet you could flush the cache? I bet you can even disable the cache on the HDD with a command. But again, thats why I say just degauss. Need a C# Consultant? I'm available. Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know. -- Ernest Hemingway

I just wanted to say thanks for your help... I have put together an article in case someone else have any use for this function. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/SharpWipe.aspx[^] http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

I managed to get OpenSuse up and running with Mono so I could run some tests. I ran the code below with "test1.txt" in application folder and "test2.txt" in a folder called "folder1" under application folder char sep = Path.DirectorySeparatorChar; string path1 = Application.StartupPath + "\\test.txt"; string path2 = Path.GetFullPath(path1); string path3 = Path.Combine(Application.StartupPath, "test.txt"); string path4 = Application.StartupPath + sep + "folder1" + sep + "test2.txt"; richTextBox1.Text = path1 + Environment.NewLine + path2; richTextBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + path3 + Environment.NewLine + path4; richTextBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine; StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path3); string text = sr.ReadToEnd(); sr.Close(); richTextBox1.Text += text; sr = new StreamReader(path4); text = sr.ReadToEnd(); sr.Close(); richTextBox1.Text += Environment.NewLine + text; On Linux, the result was this: /home/mono/Desktop/PathTest/PathTest/bin/Debug\test.txt /home/mono/Desktop/PathTest/PathTest/bin/Debug\test.txt /home/mono/Desktop/PathTest/PathTest/bin/Debug/test.txt /home/mono/Desktop/PathTest/PathTest/bin/Debug/folder1/test2.txt This is the text in test1.text This is the text in test2.text And on windows, the result was this: C:\Documents and Settings\Johan\Desktop\PathTest\PathTest\PathTest\bin\Debug\test.txt C:\Documents and Settings\Johan\Desktop\PathTest\PathTest\PathTest\bin\Debug\test.txt C:\Documents and Settings\Johan\Desktop\PathTest\PathTest\PathTest\bin\Debug\test.txt C:\Documents and Settings\Johan\Desktop\PathTest\PathTest\PathTest\bin\Debug\folder1\test2.txt This is the text in test1.text This is the text in test2.text So the conclusion of this, as you pointed out, using Path.DirectorySeparatorChar or several Path.Combine() is the way to go. Using Path.GetFullPath did not correct a windows-formated path as I thought. Thanks for your help. http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

You have to do the append/coloring in this order: append, select appended text, set selection color. See this post on MSDN[^].

Ok, Thanks... I will try and come with something http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher

Let me rephrase, maybe I was asking for the wrong thing. I would like a place to store source code examples for later viewing. Something like Source Code Organizer PS, so I can have a good overview and a possibility to search. http://johanmartensson.se - Home of MPEG4Watcher
